Review – Darkglass Electronics Super Symmetry 115 GeV Compressor

Review – Darkglass Electronics Super Symmetry 115 GeV Compressor…

The newest member of the Darkglass family is the Super Symmetry 115 Gev Compressor.

Super Symmetry 115 GeV Compressor Features:

BLEND

Like all of our pedals, allows for mixing the compressed and clean signals, ideal for fast compression adjustment (to reduce it you can dial back the blend and avoid having to readjust your Input and Output levels for unity gain).

INPUT

Adjusts the gain on the compressor. Besides working great for ensuring clean operation, it also allows for adjusting the threshold over which the compressor starts reducing gain. Higher input settings will result in higher levels of compression.

ATTACK

Sets the time until gain reduction begins (higher settings will translate into faster Attack times).

RELEASE

Sets the time after which the signal goes back to pre gain-reduction levels. Higher release settings will hold the compressed signal for shorter time.

COMPRESSION

Sets the amount of compression (Peak Reduction).

OUTPUT

Sets the output volume level of the unit.

Rating:

Construction: 5 out of 5, laser engraved solid steel chassis and recessed LED’s mean roadworthy quality.

Versatility: 5 out of 5, for a pedal based compressor it gives you as much control as a rackmount unit essentially.

Value: 5 out of 5, pricey and boutique but worth it since you are basically replacing a rackmount unit in something that fits in your gig bag.
